@tango TBF 2019 was also my last AC. :p
I really wanted to go again this year, but for various reasons I just couldn't get all the pieces in place. Oh well.
Three-day weekend seems like a good occasion to honor #NoTwitterYotevember. Blanking the Tweets now.

I just love that moment when you're screwing a metal screw into a metal anchor point on an SSD, and the SSD is plastic, so the anchor point just comes right out.
That's just the best.
So James sent me a cool video.
Sort of fun DIY projectโฆ
Sort of starts with saw this bit of wood.
Drill these holes.
Then sand this bit.
Then use your router to cut a slot.
Then put in your lathe to round this bit.
Then use your band saw.
Then your 3D printer.
Then your CNC milling machine.
Then your industrial kiln.
Well, feels like that. Quickly escalates to like โeveryone has this huge fully equipment workshop at home, surelyโโฆ
@neil Hmmm. I feel seen here as someone who self-hosts everything important to me (and is only missing the band saw, lathe and kiln from the previous list)
That said, all of my tools are at best, prosumer so they are not up to a lot of the tasks that people on Youtube blithely pull up to without mentioning that this tool costs $x, requires triple phase power, dedicated floor space since it weighs 200kg, and an industrial dust evacuation system, ...
Plus my work and storage spaces are measured in single-digit meters squared
Yeah, I love those, especially as my woodworking tools consist of a 50 year old electric jigsaw, a 60 year old plane with a knackered blade, and a wobbly old Black and Decker Workmate.
I also have zero skills, despite Dad being a qualified cabinet maker.

...oh dear, I just realized I shared this to my local furry group's chat and that I'm wearing a harness in the pic.
I hope I don't, like, awaken anything in anyone, or whatever...

it's not just the BBC, every cunt does that these days.
I truly hate this kind of thing, where they grease the path of least resistance and impose maximum friction on the option that actually gives you a proper choice.
The constant need to "make money" inevitably just makes everything subjectively worse. It's depressing.
In my personal opinion, trains leaving from and going to the same location shouldn't cost different prices depending on the operator.
But here we are. Going between Reading and Basingstoke you can either pay more to use the slow frequent train, or less to use the fast infrequent train.
Use the ticket on the wrong service, and you can expect to buy a second ticket.
Oh, noโฆ
I mean, why. WHYYYYY.

If, like me, you have a shortage of RS232 (DE9/DB25) serial cables but a glut of Cisco console cables, you might find this useful
How to make a "universal" serial cable from a Cisco console cable.
https://www.philpem.me.uk/computer/serial_cable
I've found this *really* handy for wiring up the serial ports on the cable headend. USB to serial adapters and null cables are fine, but a USB console cable with a DE9 adapter on the end is much tidier.
A universal serial cable I've been playing around with RS232-interface peripherals a lot recently, and keep finding that I never have the right cables on hand.philpem.me.uk - Phil Pemberton's website

Ugh, just my luck! I move away and just a few months later a comic con starts up in my old area, just 5 miles from where I used to live.
(Admittedly it's being held at a primary school, which suggests it might not be a particularly large eventโฆ)
That's going to take some fancy redrawing skills...
I guess that's why I haven't seen you at any cons in a very long time?
